Inje University – Unsteady Milliscale Impingement Jets and Associated Vortices for Surface Heat Transfer Augmentation
This research activity, involving Dr. Ligrani, is in collaboration with Professor Dae Hee Lee, and associated graduate students, of the Department of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering of Inje University, located in South Korea. Of interest is jet impingement cooling of electronic chips, which are equipped with different cylindrical pedestal fin arrangements 1-2. More recently, confined, milliscale unsteady laminar impinging slot jets are investigated as they influence surface Nusselt numbers with constant surface heat flux and constant surface temperature thermal boundary conditions 3-5. Also considered are effects of confined impinging slot jets on heat transfer to concave and convex surfaces 6. The structure of the associated vortices, which form within the shear layers, which are adjacent to the slot jets, are investigated using flow visualizations 7. From these data, flow characteristics of confined, laminar milliscale slot jets are revealed, as the jets impinge upon a flat target plate, with a fully-developed velocity profile at the nozzle exit. The effects of Reynolds number and normalized nozzle-to-plate distance are considered for specific values of nozzle width. Transition from a stable symmetric jet to an unsteady oscillating jet is observed as the Reynolds number increases (with normalized nozzle-to-plate distance constant), where the Reynolds number associated with this transition decreases as the normalized nozzle-to-plate distance increases. Instantaneous visualizations also show unsteady lateral distortions of jet columns at experimental conditions corresponding to the presence of continuous sinusoidal oscillations, intermittent oscillating motion of the jet column, and jet flow fluctuation/flapping motion. Associated jet and vortex structural changes are determined for different modes of unsteadiness 7, including characterization of jet column unsteadiness using jet column oscillation frequency, and lateral and streamwise extents of jet distortion 7. More recent research considers cross-flow effects on impingement array heat transfer 8, impingement arrays with large hole spacing 9, and surface roughness effects on impingement array cooling using different impingement hole shapes 10.
